  • Steam coming from Overflow

    Ok guys, here again about my problems.
    I was driving home one day. I stopped at the traffic lights and noticed steam coming from my hood.
    Checked it when I got home to see that it was coming from my overflow.
    Weird thing is my temperature gauge stayed right in the middle..

    Could it possibly be that I have too much coolant in there?
    The fans don't come on when the engine runs either, is that normal?

    Not enjoying this car too much so far...

    Start the car and turn the A/C on and see if the fans start .

          Did you check to see if there is ANY coolant in there Some gauges dont shift if the coolant has dropped below the sensor level

          Usually steam comes from a leakage

            Yeah, i put some more to be on the safe side but then it started gargling and splurting back out. Then it began heating up again. I could also hear a noise from I accelerating.

              Possible water pump failure or a blockage somewhere Dealer time ASAP
